Wendy Adelson Testimony, “Soft Memory,” and Prosecutors’ Next Moves

Wendy Adelson Testimony, “Soft Memory,” and Prosecutors’ Next
Moves

Wendy Adelson has always been at the center of motive in the Dan
Markel murder case—but so far, she’s avoided charges. In this
episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special
Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer take a closer look at Wendy’s latest
courtroom performance and the evidence stacking around her.

On the stand, Wendy’s testimony was a showcase of selective
memory—she couldn’t recall conversations, details, or context
that anyone else would find unforgettable. Yet her ex-boyfriend
testified that she openly admitted Charlie had looked into hiring
a hitman. She denied direct involvement, but admitted she
despised her ex, adding fuel to suspicions.

Overlay that with Donna’s potential to flip if convicted, and
Wendy’s position looks perilous. Donna knows the family
conspiracy better than anyone, and she could sink both Harvey and
Wendy if she chooses. For prosecutors, that’s leverage.

Coffindaffer explains how investigators evaluate testimony like
Wendy’s—when “I don’t recall” crosses from strategy into
obstruction, and why prosecutors might be building a case quietly
in the background. Are they already monitoring her
communications, waiting for a mistake? Is Wendy truly
untouchable, or simply next in line once Donna’s trial
concludes?

Wendy benefited the most from Markel’s death—custody, freedom,
financial stability—but her credibility continues to erode. This
conversation cuts through the evasions to ask: will Wendy finally
face charges, or can she keep dancing on the line?
